LUKE: (to Artoo) Artoo…that, that stabilizer’s broken loose again! See if you can’t lock it down!Īrtoo works to repair the damages. Luke breaks into a nervous sweat as the laserfire is returned, knicking one of his wings close to the engine. Luke’s X-wing streaks through the trench, firing lasers. LUKE: You worry about those fighters! I’ll worry about the tower! Wedge looks excitedly about for any sign of the TIE fighters.

LUKE: Watch yourself! Increase speed full throttle! He thinks for a moment and then moves his targeting device into position. Luke looks around for the Imperial TIE fighters. The Death Star laser cannon slowly rotates as it shoots laserbolts. WEDGE: (over headset) My scope shows the tower, but I can’t see the exhaust port! Are you sure the computer can hit it? Luke’s lifelong friend struggles with his controls.īIGGS: We’ll stay back far enough to cover you.įlak and laserbolts flash outside Luke’s cockpit window. Laserbolts are returned from the Death Star.
The three X-wings move in, unleashing a barrage of laserfire. LUKE: It’ll be just like Beggar’s Canyon back home. INTERIOR: LUKE’S X-WING FIGHTER - COCKPIT. The two X-wings peel off against a background of stars and dive toward the Death Star.īIGGS: Luke, at that speed will you be able to pull out in time? The horizon twists as Wedge begins to pull out. LUKE: (over speaker) Biggs, Wedge, let’s close it up. The room is grim after Red Leader’s death. Grand Moff Tarkin casts a sinister eye at the computer screen.ĭEATH STAR INTERCOM VOICE: Rebel base, one minute and closing.ĭodonna and Princess Leia, with Threepio beside them, listen intently to the talk between the pilots. (One small minor tangent – I guess I am a little confused on how this is one whole scene, but I don’t know much about film.) Whatever happens to Dodonna in the rest of the movies? No, I refuse to look at Wookiepedia for this answer. In the beginning and end, they have the nice brass instruments that Williams loved so much in ANH, but it’s definitely not prevalent. However, if I remember correctly, the track is about 13 minutes long or something ridiculous with a lot of it just being cymbals and drums.

It serves well in the movie because it’s subtle enough that you pay attention to the action but it also heightens the scene enough to build tension. Has anyone listened to the soundtrack of ANH and the actual piece of this song? Listening to the track is pretty boring. “Right when things feel like they can’t get any more crazy…” pan to Vader in the TIE Fighter taking a swig of Coca-Cola, “…you remember you have a Coke in your cockpit.” *commence jingle* “Life tastes good – Coca-Cola.” That would have been a good Coca-Cola commercial. I always thought that it looked like he was unscrewing a soda to take a swig in the middle of the battle.
Lines like “Luke’s targeting device marks off the distance to the target,” and “Vader adjusts his control stick.” I mean – of course I remember that scene with Vader adjusting the control stick. The great thing about reading through this scene is all the minor little details that my brain takes in as second nature when watching, but I never really thought had to be put into writing. However, when it goes by that fast, you miss a lot. It goes by so fast and that’s the beauty of it because it keeps us on the edge of our seats. We have the Death Star scenes with Tarkin, the War Room scenes with Leia, et al, looking tense, and then we have the battle above the Death Star with Luke, Biggs, and Wedge. When you watch this as a movie, there is so much to take in at once. It’s completely different reading this versus watching it. I kept reading the next line thinking “What happens next?” even though my brain knows what happens next. Wow, I can’t believe that while I was reading this, I was actually completely enthralled. What I meant was: Now that’s how you write an action scene!
